Syllabus Plus add-ons

Mosaic has produced several software add-ons to Syllabus Plus using the COM interface. It's developers are able to assist institutions with the migration to Syllabus Plus Enterprise. Examples of our COM products are:

Activity Priority Groups Generator

This application takes Syllabus Plus Activities information to enable users to to place Activities in the order in which the user wants to have them scheduled. A user may wish to start with large lecture theatre activities, move on next to three hour laboratory sessions, and so on, until small tutorials are the last to be scheduled.

Activity Name Updater

The Activity Name Updater employes the Syllabus Plus COM Object Model to re-name multiple Activities for a Module so that they are numbered in order of their position in the week.

Module Sets Creator

When Activities are timetabled automatically in Syllabus Plus, the time at which they are scheduled depends on the availability and preferences the Staff, Location, Equipment ,and Student Sets the Activity is linked to. Attaching Student Sets ensures that the Activity is not timetabled at the same time as another Activity from the same Module that students must attend.

Module Sets Creator is used just before the timetabling process starts. The user is assisted by the application to create Student Sets for Modules that have insufficient Sets to ensure a clash-free timetable.
